Bayern Munich boss Pep Guardiola cut Friday’s press conference short after being asked about speculation linking him to the England national team.

Reports this week have suggested that the Football Association have earmarked Guardiola as the next England manager when Roy Hodgson’s contract expires after Euro 2016.

Incidentally, Guardiola, 44, who has a glistening trophy cabinet as both player and manager, is yet to sign a contract extension with the Bundesliga champions and could become a free agent in the summer.

Quizzed by a journalist in attendance over the specualtion Guardiola said: ‘Oh come on, I’m coach of Bayern Munich. Many thanks and auf wiedersehen,’ before walking out of the room.
